The Java Update functionality in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22 and JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, when a non-English version of Windows is used, does not retrieve available new JRE versions, which allows remote attackers to leverage vulnerabilities in older releases of this software, aka Bug Id 6869694.

Unspecified vulnerability in JNLPAppletlauncher in Sun Java SE, and SE for Business, in JDK and JRE 6 Update 14 and earlier and JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 19 and earlier; and Java SE for Business in SDK and JRE 1.4.2_21 and earlier; allows remote attackers to create or modify arbitrary files via vectors involving an untrusted Java applet that accesses an old version of JNLPAppletLauncher.

The Aqua Look and Feel for Java implementation in Java 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a call to the undocumented apple.laf.CColourUIResource constructor with a crafted value in the first argument, which is dereferenced as a pointer.

LdapCtx in the LDAP service in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 17 and earlier; 6 Update 12 and earlier; SDK and JRE 1.3.1_24 and earlier; and 1.4.2_19 and earlier does not close the connection when initialization fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (LDAP service hang).
